Headlight for vehicles

Abstract

A headlight for vehicles has a reflector having at least two regions formed for different illumination functions, at least one light source associated with each of the regions of the reflector and having two light source elements, a lamp carrier fixed to the reflector, one of the light source elements being inserted in the reflector via the lamp carrier and held in the lamp carrier, the lamp carrier having a first portion fixed to the reflector and a second portion in which the one light source element is held, the second portion of the lamp carrier with the one light source element held in it being movable transverse to an optical axis of the reflector relative to the first portion of the lamp carrier for adjusting of the one light source element when the second portion is fixed to the reflector, the second portion of the lamp carrier being accessible from a backside of the reflector for moving the second portion relative to the first portion of the lamp carrier.

What is claimed as new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims: 
     
       1. A headlight for vehicles, comprising a reflector having at least two regions formed for different illumination functions; at least two light sources associated correspondingly with said regions of said reflector and having two light source elements; a lamp carrier fixed to said reflector, one of said light source elements being inserted in said reflector via said lamp carrier and held in said lamp carrier, said lamp carrier having a first portion fixed to said reflector and a second portion in which said one light source element is held, said second portion of said lamp carrier with said one light source element held in it being movable transverse to an optical axis of said reflector relative to said first portion of said lamp carrier for adjusting of said one light source element when said first portion is fixed to said reflector and said one light source element is held in said second portion of said lamp carrier, said second portion of said lamp carrier being accessible from a backside of said reflector for moving said second portion relative to said first portion of said lamp carrier after and when the lamp carrier with said one light source element are inside said reflector, so that a position of said one light source element in said reflector can be adjusted after said lamp carrier has been fixed on said reflector and said one light source element is held in said lamp carrier. 
     
     
       2. A headlight as defined in claim 1, wherein said second portion of said lamp carrier on which said light source element is held is offset relative to said first portion of said lamp carrier which is mounted on the reflector, in direction of an optical axis. 
     
     
       3. A headlight for vehicles, comprising a reflector having at least two regions formed for different illumination functions; at least two light sources associated correspondingly with said regions of said reflector and having two light source elements; a first lamp carrier fixed to said reflector in one of said regions of said reflector, one of said light source elements being inserted in said reflector via said first lamp carrier and held in said first lamp carrier; a second lamp carrier having a first portion fixed to said reflector in another of said regions and a second portion in which another light source element is held, said second portion of said second lamp carrier with said another light source element held in it being movable transverse to an optical axis of said reflector relative to said first portion of said second lamp carrier for adjusting of said another light source element when said first portion of said second lamp carrier is fixed to said reflector and said another light source element is held in said second lamp carrier, said second portion of said second lamp carrier being accessible from a back side of said reflector for moving said second portion relative to said first portion of said second lamp carrier after and when said second lamp carrier with said another light source element are inside said reflector, so that a position of said another light source element in said reflector can be adjusted after said second lamp carrier has been fixed on said reflector in said another region and said another light source element is held in said second lamp carrier.
